I've sadly interacted with that 'human'
I never thought I'd say this, but I feel sorry for Adolf Hitler.
Honest question: Are there no limits in the US to what you can legally name your child? Where I'm from a name can be rejected if it can "cause significant harm or inconvenience to the child". This prevents idiots from naming their child "Traitor" or "Terrorist".
There are limits in many places, sometimes in response to that time the artist Prince changed his name to a symbol, in some cases all special characters are banned too, so good luck to anyone with a non-English name. But outside of that? In most states you could probably name your kid Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, much worse names have happened.
I think there's been a couple of times where states have tried to stop individuals who have tried to name their kid Adolph Hitler or just some racist slogan, but I don't remember how those went, it was a genuine legal question if those names could be blocked.
Name changes, however, are a different thing - often requiring a judge to approve them, they can be rejected simply due to the misfortune of being a trans person in Texas, for example. Unless it's a name change due to marriage, those are significantly easier for some reason.
